None.
I've bagged out on short leaders before, it's mainly got to do with jig action and quality of the jig. A good braid will indicate when the squid has latched on and when to strike.

Not the best way to increase your success as the braid is highly visible.Nude up wrote:I only fish out of my boat but my leader lengths are usually only around the .5 to 1 mt mark, sometimes I just run braid straight to a clip

You would be surprised at how visible it is compared to a Fluor carbon leader. Might increase your catch rate when the squid are being fussy.
